T: Taste is a little weak, especially compared to the typical American IPA of today. Hops are there, but very subtle, more like a pale ale. It doesn't taste bad, don't get me wrong, but a bit more hops would make this thing great. Leaves a pleasant aftertaste, finishes very clean and soft. Hint of malt in the back.

12 oz bottle poured into as traditional pint glass. Nice creamy head that dissipates pretty quickly but generous lacing left behind to the end. Nose is really resinous - pine, a little grapefruit, some varnish or furniture polish (not in a bad way). Taste is consistent with the smell with some malt upfront but finishing crisply. This is my local brewer that I've tended to overlook, but this needs to be revisited. A lot. Really a very nice, well balanced and very drinkable IPA. (481 characters)

Mad Anthony is new to the Evansville beer stores so I bought a sixpack of the IPA. Pours a chill hazed, peach body topped by a small almond hued head that leaves some patchy lacing. Aroma is mostly pine and bitter grapefruit with an odd sour apple note. Medium body with solid carbonation. Taste is mostly hops. Pine, grass, and citrus rind. Malt presence is evidenced by subtle caramel sweetness. Very passable, but pedestrian in a market dominated by Bells, Three Floyds, and Founders offerings. (497 characters)

Pours a hazy golden copper with s small quickly dissipating white head. Leaves a nice lace on the glass.Aromas of pine citrus and candy.Flavours of grapefruit, malt, hops and as one of the reviews suggests, a bug spray kind of taste, "but not in a bad way".Nice finish with good carbonation, and a little bitterness at the back. Not a bad offering (351 characters)

Thanks to Lucas from local BIF 3 for this one. Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a Sam Adams perfect pint.

A: Extended pour yields a monstrous 3 finger fluffy off white head with nice retention though a bit rought around the edges. Here's where it gets weird... beer is a clear orange at the bottom but cloudy at the top. In addition, as I hold this up to the light, ominous orange swirls can be seen travelling up and down the brew. I'm not sure what to make of that. Cascading lacing is a nice touch though this doesn't stick around for the most part.

S: Heck of a nose on this one. Citrus, grapefruit, resiny hops, piney. Cane sugar sweetness and grassy. Very fresh and lively.

T: Big, powerful astringent and resiny hops upfront give me a swift kick in the mouth. Intensity can only get lower from here, which it does. Flavors turn off as if with the flick of a switch though. Hops fade quickly to be replaced by a slightly sour citrus character. Malt presence is barely felt. Astringeny returns at the finish but is too over the top for me. Leaves an intense hop bitterness in the aftertaste.

M: Light to medium bodied, highly coarse and moderatly carbonated. Watery and bubbly in the mouth with one of the messiest finishes I've come across to date. Leaves an astringent hop taste in the mouth that just doesn't seem to fade.

D: This is your average run of the mill IPA with a great, big, distinguishing nose, but a comparatively poor feel. Flavor is on par but for me, I just can't get over the aftertaste. Way over the top and way too much. I'm glad to have tried it but I'll likely pass the next time around. (1,624 characters)

Pours a fairly clear copper (there are some light suspended floaties within the body) with a finger of slightly dirty looking off-white head. This stays rather rich, leaving back some frothy swathes of lace behind. I'm just not getting a whole lot at first out of the aroma, having to really get my nose down good in the glass. Notes of floral hops, earthy dankness, and overripe ripe, with some sticky malt across the back of the nose. Not really impressive overall.

The taste has a lot of tangy sweetness to it from bread, caramel, and tropical fruit, but it seems to hang more on the outskirts of the profile. The hop profile itself tastes of pithy citrus peel, earth, and spice, putting a gritty tingle of bitterness through the middle of the profile. The finish lingers with a dirty dryness that sticks a bit harshly in the mouth. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a creamy sharpness to the carbonation and a touch of slickness which helps keep the body on the easier side. The ABV is thankfully nicely kept in check here. This is probably my favorite part of the beer.

Overly sweet in some spots and then overly bitter and gritty in others, this IPA just never really got it's act together. Luckily the body helped keep this in the game somewhat but there are much better IPAs out there. (1,333 characters)

Poured from a bottle from a mix a six in Indiana with a ridiculous head. A very light IPA that looks maybe like a pale ale at best but not very hoppy. This really is not what I would think of as an IPA. It just tastes like something watered down. I am reminded of 21st ammendmants brew free or die IPA and I feel this would go great in a can because I could pound these. A very simple beer but nothing I would seek out. (419 characters)

Now here is a good beer. It combines the hoppiness of an IPA with the sessionability of just a regular old PA. Niiiice hop character, pleasant smell and yeah, the taste. A wonderful mix of malt and hops, balanced. Sweet, sweet balance, how so many breweries eschew you . . but not Mad Anthony, no, they know their stuff. Malty and hoppy, this is one great brew.

Poured from 12oz bottle. I've had this beer many times so I figure I might as well review it now.

A- Pours a semi-hazy burnt orange/copper color. One finger light tan head that dies down fast. Light spotty lacing on the sides of the glass.

S- Bigger citrus (orange and pineapple) upfront in the aroma. Nothing to knock you out like west coast beers but you know it's there. Some light bready sweet malts make up the backbone. Some light simcoe hops in there as well. Nice smelling beer without being too over the top.

T- Taste is a little more citrusy hops forward than the nose would suggest. This brings out a sweetness that blends with the malts in this beer. Some light bitterness on the back end of this beer along with a off flavor I can't put my finger on. Also, there is some slight metal tinge to this.

M- Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation is good for the style. Citrus hops left on the palate and in the aftertaste. Light coasting of hop resin leaving the tongue slightly slick. Light off flavor in the aftertaste.

D- This is a good sessionable IPA but I would take something else if offered. Would like to see this IPA beefed up a little. Very BMC friendly beer that could be used as a stepping stone. (1,215 characters)

Pours out slightly brown and clear with one finger of white suds.Smell is wonderful pine and tangerine with hints of grapefruit and malt.Taste is bitter but with lots of lemon and orange peel with a tangerine finish.Mouthfeel is a bit dirty but finishes clean.High in the drinkability for me. This is just a fantastic IPA from a brewery I just discovered. (360 characters)

Big thanks to the kind BA who sent me this bottle, I love me a good IPA and this was a very, very good IPA. Served cold and poured into a pint glass, this one was consumed on 11/26/2008.

Excellent pour here with a rich, and lightly hazed amber color coming through right away. Nice carbonation visible throughout the glass. A small head of light white creeping up the sides of the glass, reaching a height of around two inches and settling down to a pillow covering the entire glass.

The aroma was heavenly. Rich citrus hops, grapefruit and pungent orange leading the show. Light biscuit malt in the backround was secondary to this huge hop explosion. This carried over in the taste exceptionally. Rich notes of grapefruit tearing apart the tongue, earth shattering hops hear only slightly mellowed as it warmed and started to show off a nice touch of light malts mid palate before drying back out with a long winded and biting bitternes toward the finish. Smooth, even carbonation was just wonderful and the drinkability was off the chart for me.

Overall one of the best IPA's I have had in a very long time. I need to get some more of this as it was as solid as they come! (1,177 characters)
